What is the Campus Events Commissioner?

As Campus Events Commissioner, it is my duty to uphold the highest quality of events that are the most representative of the diverse community that makes up our campus. Apart from leading a staff of over 100 people to plan and execute free speaker events, early film screenings, and quarterly concerts, I'll be spending my summer planning Bruin Bash, securing the largest venues and biggest artists possible to kick off the 2026-2027 school year right. CEC is a student-funded, student-run, and student-focused events and entertainment commission, dedicated to bringing UCLA the absolute best that the entertainment industry has to offer.
